Selby and Robertson are members of the Big Three in today's world stage, Selby is the 2021 world champion and Robertson was last season's best player. From Snooker's point of view, they are all one of the most successful players. But success is never easy, and Selby's career path has endured hardships that no second person can overcome. Robertson's transition from a precision player to a ball-handling player is also very difficult. Behind their brilliance, Selby and Robertson put a lot of effort into it, and that's what makes them successful.
Selby's breaking the confinement from scratch was a miracle
By any measure, Selby's success is like an inspirational story. It took a decade of hardship to win his first championship trophy, and that was achieved with his daily insistence on crazy practice. To tell the truth, if you change someone, it is estimated that you will have already collapsed. But Selby was not, not only was he not discouraged, but he became stronger and stronger. In the subsequent career path, he directly overturned his own technical actions and started from scratch. Objectively speaking, this matter is very risky, and the slightest carelessness will ruin your career path. However, Selby is the only one who can succeed through such a path, because he can do his best. With persistence and hard work, the new technology action becomes a muscle memory, so his success is beyond reproach, because this is what he has exchanged for perseverance and sweat.
Behind Robertson's successful transformation is full of hardships
"Melbourne Machine" Neil Robertson is the best player in the world today, and his technical moves are even the envy of O'Sullivan. But Robertson's success has also been achieved through setbacks, from the debut of the quasi-player to today's ball-handling player, Robertson has changed too much in order to become stronger. The old Robertson and Trump debuted basically not much different, they were both known for their accuracy and relatively poor ball possession ability. But today's Robertson is not such a player, he is not only very accurate, but also has made great progress in positioning and possession. His current position can even be said to be one of the top existences. However, behind the success of the transformation is not easy, Robertson has paid more than 10 hours of training and hard work every day. Even if it is a holiday, there is no rest, and it is this perseverance and hard work that has made Robertson what he is today, so his success is equally worthy of respect.
Both Selby and Robertson are brave dreamers
It's never easy to succeed on the world snooker stage, and when you try to chase your dreams, there will be a lot of people who will go with you to chase them. Selby and Robertson's success did not predate Ding Junhui's success, but their achievements now surpass those of China's brother. So success is never sooner or later, but to see who can laugh to the end. For players on the World Snooker Tour, some people can't get a championship trophy in their lifetime, because there can only be one winner for each championship trophy. This means that you need to keep working hard for every championship, if you don't work hard enough, the basic skills are not solid enough, or the heart is not strong enough, maybe you have performed well, then you may not be able to get yourself to win the championship trophy. On the road to the championship, Robertson and Selby are undoubtedly brave and prepared, which makes them have today's achievements. So, success is not easy, but as long as you are willing to be a brave dreamer, everything is possible.
